* **inject_request_headers** adds headers to the request before the request is sent to the proxied service. Useful for adding basic auth headers if needed.

* **skip_auth_regex** skips authentication for paths matching these regular expressions. NOTE: Use with extreme caution.

Note: From the perspective of request validations, if a request meets the requirements set in any of `allowed_groups`, `allowed_email_domains`, and `allowed_email_addresses`,
then it will be deemed valid. It need only pass _one_, not all of them.

### Route Types
